I've been thinking about getting Halo for my PC, and I downloaded a trial version. After playing it, I have a few questions that need answering.
First of all, the sound in the trial verson is very crappy. Even on low quality settings. Other games I've played off of my computer have very good sound quality. Although, these games are a bit older (Diablo II, FFVII, FFVIII).
During the trial netplay, no one was using a microphone. Does it support a mike at all? Also, it was somewhat laggy. I'm running Verizon DSL. Everyone else seemed to be getting lag as well. I want to play over the internet with my friend, so it's a big part of my buying descision.
Graphics seemed very watered down compared to the Xbox version. I don't mind if they're not as good, but I'd just like to know if it's the trial version that gives them less quality. I had them on the highest graphic settings possible.
I want to know if these things change in the full version. I don't own an Xbox, and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon.
